In this peculiar French comedy from the 1970s, we follow the life of a young man who, after a series of ups and downs in his romantic life, finds himself caught in a love triangle that challenges both his logic and his emotions. It all begins when his girlfriend, Lisa, feels frustrated and depressed, and he, in an attempt to cheer her up, decides to take her on an unexpected trip to a friend’s summer house. What initially seems like a restorative getaway quickly transforms into an emotional chaos.
As the days go by, the relationship between the three characters becomes even more complicated. Our protagonist finds himself at a crossroads, torn between his feelings for Lisa and his attraction to a fascinating woman who enters his life. Meanwhile, his friend, who becomes the mediator of the tumult, cannot help but get emotionally involved. Dark humor and absurd situations soon arise, turning their moments of sadness into bittersweet laughter.
With a bold approach to the complexities of relationships, the film employs an intelligent weaving of comedy and drama to explore love, loneliness, and human nature. Each scene reflects the madness that can stem from desire, while the characters, with their opposing messages, lead us to question what it truly means to be in love. In the end, emotions take precedence, and the resolution leaves everyone with a glimmer of hope, albeit tinged with melancholy.
